r JAN 251994 <br />-7 BOOK 9� FAGE 576 <br />Commissioner Eggert recalled that there were questions last <br />year about certain items in the budget. She was concerned that a <br />profit-sharing arrangement might result in some controversy. <br />Attorney Vitunac responded that the Firefighters will be <br />required to prepare an audited statement of income and expenses <br />from the County Fair, which will be available for the Board's <br />review. <br />Commissioner Adams pointed out that the County received a <br />guaranteed $9,000 in income from the County Fair prior to this <br />year, and she was fairly certain a review of previous financial <br />statements would reveal little profit. She wanted to keep a close <br />watch on expenses. <br />Commissioner Bird commented that the Firefighters view the <br />County Fair as a county -wide event, and they feel that a profit- <br />sharing arrangement makes it more of a team effort between the <br />Firefighters and the County. He suggested that the Commissioners <br />review the statement of income and expenses and discuss any <br />concerns they have with the Firefighters. <br />OMB Director Joe Baird indicated that he can express the <br />Board's concerns to the Firefighters in writing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved an <br />agreement with the Firefighters for the 1994 Indian <br />River County Fair and authorized the County Attorney <br />to submit the completed application package to the <br />State along with the required $275.00 permit fee, as <br />recommended by staff. <br />AGREEMENT IS ON FILE <br />IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />U. S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SIGNS AT PELICAN ISLAND <br />Paul Tritaik, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, showed the Board <br />and the audience a sample of the signs saying "Unauthorized Entry <br />Prohibited" that recently were posted at the Pelican Island <br />National Wildlife Refuge (Pelican Island). Mr. Tritaik reported <br />that the old signs had the same wording as the new signs, but <br />people could not read them because they were so faded. When the <br />signs were replaced, the perception of some of the public was that <br />people are not welcome at Pelican Island. He understood the <br />public's concern, but explained that every national wildlife refuge <br />outside of Alaska is mandated to use these standard -issue signs as <br />boundary markers. After several discussions, officials from .the <br />10 <br />
